Tofall whom t may concern Be it known that I, LEONHARD' BAnno'rH, a citizen of the United States, -and a resident of fToledo, in the-county of Luca-s and .5 State of Ohio,have' invented a certain new and useful Metallic Package; vand I hereby declarethe following to 'be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such 'as will enable others skilledv in the lart to which it appertains to make and use the same, ref-v erence'being had to the accompanying drawings, and tothe figures of reference markedy thereon, whichjform a partof this .specification.

My invention relates'to metallic packages, and has for its object the provision ofsim le and ef'cient internalreinforcing means or the package, which is light, strong 'and .du.

rable in its construction, inexpensive of manufacture, and' adaptedtov coperate with the 'body wall of the packagevto provide drainage passagesl therebetween transversely of the means to prevent the damming action which would Otherwise be caused by the shoulder formed within the package by the reinforcing means when the package is ly-l ing on its side. I' l Y Th'e invention is fully described inthe following specification, and while, in its broader aspect, it is capable of embodiment in numerous forms, a preferred embodiment thereof is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which,- Figure l is a cross-,section of -aV portion of a package embody-ing the-invention taken on the dotted line a: in Fig. lSZ, and 2 is a sidelelevationthereof with `a portion in central longitudinal section...l

Referring-'to the drawings', l designates the body of a metallic package', which,in the present instance, ,is of bilge shape and formed of sheet-metal.v It is to be under- 4 stood, however, that the feature comprising i p Mounted within .the package in labutment vwith its side wall is the'an'nular body bracmember 2, whichy my invention is not limited to use in any -particular .form or construction Ofpackage, 'but is intended for use in any packageof this'nature to which it may be applicable.

ing' .or' 'v reinforcing strengthens thev packagebodyagainst collapsing stresses. This `member is of channel heavy 545 Atermin formin cross-section and formed from a rade of sheet-metal, with its leg als turned outward-in opposite direcmember' 2- materially enhances the tions to provide-broadened feet or surfaces ratehtedriay ,27L191a` 3 for bearing against `the package wall.' It e 'is apparent that this 'form of member 4provides la :very .strong and durable reinforoement for a package, and that as vmany *ofl the same may be used inpagpackage. as de- From extensive ex erimenting -in this line I have found that'a s ainpedor drawn sheet--` metal 'reinforcing 4ring of this; character makes averymuchstronger vn'aeta/"llic package' employed and at Vthe vsame time materially lightens .the structure'. The turning out of the feet or leg terminals 3 of the ring is also important in the provision of acommercially practicalstructure of this character, as they not only present a boardthan do the cast formsof rings heretoforef v cned bearingsurface for the 4package body,

but also coperate with the channel portion of the ring in lending strength and rigidity to1 the package. Y

of the reinforcing member. l In addition to the-,channeled portionof the .memberl 2 adding strength' andrigidity 'thereto,ita1s'o Yprovides an annular channel 4 or passage around the ring in cominuncation with each-of the recesses 4, whereby a stoppage of some of said recesses will not materially -e'ect the drainage feature, as liquid may 'flow .to the passage within the ring through one recess andv iow therefrom .through afrecess out of register with the first, thus making the ring passage a distribnting medium for; the outlet recesses.

It isA found` in practice that the provision vof these drainage passages at thebase or member when the package `is on its side, I
